Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?
My timeline thing. It gathers all my crap and puts in onto a timeline. It's a more fine-grained version of scrolling to a specific date on my photo stream.
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
It serves no purpose, but somehow it attracted one contributor.
It's pointless on purpose. It's the thing I work on when I want to forget about work, and build purely for myself.

Ask HN: What's your personal backup strategy?
Google Drive as a first line of defence. It's been solid for a really long time.
I also run hourly rsync backups to my home server, and propagate them to a Hetzner file storage server. This is done by my timeline thing [0]. The timeline thing backs up files from multiple devices, but also geolocation, social media posts, and other data I consider valuable. It's extensible, so I can add new inputs/outputs as needed.
Whatever your backup strategy is, consider the following threats:
- Your files are held hostage by ransomware, and the damage spreads to your backup
- Your house is destroyed by fire
- You lose your 2FA device
- You are locked out of your Google/Apple/Microsoft account
- You are incapacitated, and someone needs to take over
I have 4 of those factors covered. I am working on the last point.

What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?
My own timeline thing.
It hosts all of my data plus my personal diary. I update it at least once a day. My photos, backups and geolocation are automatically uploaded to it.
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
My home server gets a lot of use too. It's mostly my own code, plus Transmission.
https://github.com/nicbou/homeserver
I also have a few lines of code that take my browser's search queries and routes them according to keywords. Browsers do this natively now, but old habits die hard. Every search query goes through it.

Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?
I added RSS to my websites, because my timeline thing (https://github.com/nicbou/timeline) uses them to retrieve posts from my websites.
However, I see the death of RSS as the symptom of a larger problem: when platforms get big enough, they restrict access to their data. RSS feeds disappear, but so do other machine-readable endpoints. If it wasn't for GDPR, there would be no way to export that data. GDPR gave us clunky one-time exports, but even those are often incomplete.
The industry has a strong incentive to kill RSS, since the readers can strip the valuable bits (content or data) from the business bits (analytics, monetisation). RSS users are hard to count or monetise.
This is a battle worth fighting, but it's not one you should expect to win.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
It regroups my personal data, and displays it on a timeline. Sort of like if Google Photos also included reddit posts, personal journal entries, text messages and other slices of life.
I do it both as a way to back up files and photos, and as a way to keep an enhanced journal.

Open Source Projects You Can Lay Your Hand On
Monica is a Personal Relationship Management (PRM) web application developed on PHP by Monicahq. The main aim of this project is to help individuals to organize and record their interactions with others. It works as a CRM tailored for managing relationships with friends and family. The Monica project is designed for individuals who struggle to remember important details about the lives of people they care about, including those with conditions, like Asperger syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease. It provides a private and personal space for users to keep track of essential information about their friends and family.

Ask HN: As a hobbyist developer, what are the odds of getting hired as a pro?
I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).
However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.
I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.
I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.
That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

Show HN: A “CRM” for your personal relationships
I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

New version of Monica, codename Chandler, is available in beta
My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.
Have improvements been made with this in the new version?
